Lisca – A Panoramic Climb in Eastern Slovenia
Lisca, a 948-meter peak above Sevnica in eastern Slovenia, is a climb that every cyclist in the region holds in high regard. Known for its sweeping views, varied gradients, and welcoming mountain lodge at the summit, Lisca is both a physical challenge and a scenic reward. Unlike the long alpine ascents in northern Slovenia, Lisca offers a more compact but punchy test of climbing legs, with a distinct character shaped by the rolling hills of Posavje. The classic climb begins in Sevnica, the town on the Sava River best known as the hometown of Melania Trump. From the start, the road rises steadily through vineyards and orchards, introducing riders to gradients of 6–8%. The middle section of the climb intensifies, with several ramps pushing over 10%, forcing cyclists into their easiest gears and demanding strong pacing. The road is narrow and quiet, with minimal traffic, making it ideal for cyclists who enjoy peaceful, rural ascents.
Climbing Lisca – A Cyclist’s Reward in Posavje
As you approach the higher slopes, the climb weaves through forests before breaking open onto the grassy meadows near the summit. Here, the views become increasingly dramatic: the Sava Valley stretches below, the rolling Posavje hills spread outward, and on a clear day, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and even the Julian Alps are visible in the distance. The mountain lodge and tower at the top provide a perfect resting spot to refuel, enjoy a meal, and soak in the scenery. Lisca is not just a climb—it is an experience that combines fitness, nature, and culture. For cyclists touring eastern Slovenia, it offers a chance to step off the beaten path and discover one of the region’s most rewarding ascents. Short, steep, and panoramic, Lisca is a climb that leaves a lasting impression.
